Alaska Progams

The Alaska Range: The rugged chain of glacier clad peaks slicing through Alaska's interior. It is home to the biggest, most impressive mountains in North America. Denali, standing at 20,310', is the highest mountain in North America and one of the World's Seven Summits.

RMI's guides have been climbing and guiding in the Alaska Range for over half a century. Lou Whittaker first climbed Denali in 1960, marking the 12th ascent of the mountain. In 1975 Joe Horiskey led RMI's first guided ascent of Denali and since then RMI has led over 300 Expeditions of Denali.

With over 40 years of history on the mountain RMI is the longest running guide service working on Denali today.

Whether you are looking to climb Denali's classic West Buttress, spend a week on the Kahiltna Glacier training with our Alaska Mountaineering Seminar - Expedition, learn alpine ice and rock skills in Little Switzerland on our Alaska Mountaineering Seminar - Alpine, or climb the Upper West Rib of Denali, experience matters. RMI has over four decades of accumulated knowledge on the slopes of Denali passed down through generations of RMI guides for the purpose of a safe and successful expedition. Our guides are second to none in the guiding industry and we are especially proud of our history within Denali National Park & Preserve.
